Christmas Everlasting Mistletoe Sprig OR Wreath Video Kit by Tabletop Workshops

Description

Make each of these beauties in the comfort of your own home. Both festive and sustainable, my everlasting mistletoe sprig or wreath (20cm ) use pure wool felt. They make wonderful decorations for your own home, or as gifts for friends.

** Please be sure to state which you would like when purchasing. **

The sprig will take approximately three and a half hours to make. The wreath is a little faster at around three hours. However, depending on the speed you work at, they may take a longer.

The videos accompanying each show are step by step with plenty of close ups to ensure you easily move from one stage to the next.

Sprig: You’ll learn how to create the branches from floristry wire and pure wool and cut the leaf shapes from the pure wool felt provided. Then you’ll attach the berries and leaves by hand stitching and add a final flourish with a piece of red organza ribbon.

Wreath: For this you’ll first cover a metal ring with floristry tape. Then youll cut your mistletoe leaves, again using pure wool felt. Next you’ll bring the components together to form the wreath. Then you will position and stitch the berries and contrasting leaves to the wreath. Lastly you’ll add the hanger and tie the red organza ribbon to form a bow as a final flourish.

NB: Both the sprig and the wreath involve quite a lot of cutting, and for the sprig, a fair amount of stitching. For both you will need to apply tension to your materials as you work when either binding the wire to form the branches of the sprig or wrapping the hoop with the leaves for the wreath.

This will be particularly the case if you have any hand conditions e.g., weakness, numbness or arthritis.

Whether you opt for the sprig or the wreath theyre much a case of straight forward once you know how.
